The patch program included with this text file updates Warp 9 3.70 to
version 3.71.  This update fixes a bug that caused crashes after booting
on a color monitor, and also adds one new feature.

To perform the patch, follow these simple instructions:

  1.  IMPORTANT!!!  Make a copy of your Warp 9 program file and store it
      in a safe place, just in case something goes wrong during the
      upgrade process.  Don't modify your only copy!

  2.  Run the program SUPERZAP.PRG, which is included with this archive
      file.  When the program starts, click the button labeled "Read ZAP
      Data."  A GEM file selector will appear. 

  3.  Use the file selector to locate and select the ZAP file for either
      the ST or the TT version of Warp 9, depending on which one you use.
      SUPERZAP will load the ZAP file, and the button underneath "Read
      ZAP Data" will now read "WARP9_ST v3.70->3.71" (or "WARP9_TT..."),
      and become selectable.

  4.  Click on this button and a GEM file selector appears, letting you
      locate the copy of Warp 9 that is to be updated.  Select the Warp 9
      program file and SUPERZAP will do its job, leaving you with a
      working copy of Warp 9 3.71.

What the Update Fixes...
------------------------

On a color monitor, when the GEM desktop starts up it switches the
resolution to the one saved in your DESKTOP.INF (or NEWDESK.INF) file. 
Unfortunately, Warp 3.70 didn't properly handle this resolution change
under some circumstances, leading to a crash when the desktop started to
appear.  The 3.71 update fixes this problem.


What the Update Adds...
-----------------------

Once again, MIDI programs are the bane of our existence.  The screensaver
code in Warp 9 that watches the keyboard and mouse interrupt apparently
conflicts with Cubase.  (Even though Warp 9's method is perfectly legal
and above-board.)  Therefore, version 3.71 of Warp 9 adds a way to
completely disable the screensaver at bootup time, to prevent this
conflict.  It's unfortunate that this is necessary, but it appears to be
the only way around the problem.

To do this, just add the entry EXTENDO.OFF to your WARP9.DAT file, on a
line by itself.  (See your Warp 9 manual for a more complete explanation
of the WARP9.DAT file.)


CodeHead Technologies Update Policy

At CodeHead, we update all of our software frequently; but due to postal
expenses we are not always able to notify our users.  The easiest way
to find out the latest version number of any CodeHead Technologies product
is to call us at the number below, or to contact us on GEnie, Compuserve,
or Delphi. 

Update prices vary, depending on several factors such as whether a new
manual is included.  Again, it's probably best to contact us at the

Please, remember that software theft hurts EVERYONE.  If you have a
legitimate copy of our software, please accept our sincere thanks for
purchasing our product, and don't bother reading the next paragraph.

If you don't have a legal copy of this program, you might want to give
some thought to the consequences of your actions.  We will not continue
to produce software for the ST if we can't make a living at it --
especially now, with the Atari ST's market share at an all time low.  If
you steal a copy of any of our programs (by using it without buying it,
or allowing others to use it without buying it), besides breaking a
federal law, you're also quite literally stealing the food right out of
our families' mouths.  Is that the kind of person you want to be?

Think about it.
